Closer Look: Teixeira Portugal Restaurant in South Miami

Chef Teixeira in the kitchen.
A vast portion of the menu at Teixeira Portugal Restaurant is dedicated to one ingredient: bacalhau, known as codfish to English speakers and bacalao to los que hablan español. Order it “a nortenha,” and a fat, pearly lobe of the fish is deep-fried, lathered in a creamy pumpkin-hued garlic sauce, and sandwiched between two heaps of mashed potatoes. Or opt for it grilled so the skin takes on a smoky char before it’s set atop a mound of steamed potatoes twisted up with red peppers, garlic, and caramelized onions.
